shocking video of a legit war problems emerges here and syrian rebels executing government troops. u.k.'s deputy pm warns the country could become isolated inside big after rebel lawmakers both in brussels. britain nothing to do with europe. and america's record military budget. as the presidential candidates resume campaigning in the aftermath of superstorm sandy. hello and welcome to our team this friday with you now is me karen tara and the

disc seven o'clock here in moscow now evidence of brutality by syria's rebel fighters has been branded shocking by human rights organizations and the u.n. says the killings of syrian soldiers if confirmed constituted a nother war crime online footage appears to show the summary execution of twenty eight syrian troops in the north the video can't be independently verified but is seemingly of rebels beating and kicking the soldiers some of whom were wounded before shooting them and it happened after anti assad fighters overran army checkpoints between damascus and aleppo while china is calling for a phase ceasefire and a gradual power transition in syria the united states plans to get greater influence for frontline militants the president of arab lawyers association says washington would back anyone in syria to get its way. and there has been similar incidents on many occasions but at that time when the usa was having a different view than it is now. they were saying it's all committed by the regime

now not suggesting that the regime does not commit these crimes but certainly both sides are doing this but this particular one it is a war crime in any event shooting people after they surround and specially the people is a war crime in law both domestic and international and i think this should be viewed in that light the western states especially the usa and france where willing to probably second fight half the population of syria to get rid of the regime they were not choosey in there and they're backing they are backing anybody anybody who actually pause. on a fire which is burning is actually participating in the crowd this is what the u.s. is doing this is what france europe and the u.k. are doing and this is the reason why for instance kofi annan under the the mission he said if you want to change the regime go and do it if you want to me to stop the killing then stop putting the patrol on the fire this is what that little brahimi

is facing now and the second term to try and stop the killing but i think the western nations they are talking one way and acting in another way but i think what is amazing if when the secretary of state of the usa has dramatically changed its position when they were pushing all the world to recognize the council as the the estimate the only one which represents the syrian people now they've decided it doesn't but i think now they're changing the rules of the game britain's deputy prime minister is warning rebel lawmakers they could only britain isolated within the e.u. conservative m.p.'s who are in the governing coalition sided with the opposition and defying prime minister david cameron by voting for cuts to the money britain hands over the brussels every year parties laura smith explains with the cloud hanging over the houses of parliament could this be the beginning of the end of britain's membership in. the european union pro europe deputy prime minister nick

clegg certainly seems to fear so he's said that wednesday's rebellion by conservative m.p.'s when they voted in favor of cutting the budget in the e.u. could leave britain either isolated inside the union all out of it altogether that will be music to the is of many who support leaving the e.u. the money britain contributes has become a huge grain of contention while brussels encourages e.u. member countries to tighten their belts it doesn't appear to be tightening its own and in fact if the e.u. commission gets its wage britain will be forced to pay an extra one point three billion pounds next year in budget contributions on top of the eleven billion we already pay and we'd soon be handing over a staggering twenty two thousand pounds a minute to brussels david cameron has promised till negotiate

a deal that means u.k. contributions would rise only in line with inflation but that's proven not good enough this week with rebels in his own party to managing a real terms cards in cash going to the you there's a summit in brussels to discuss the budget towards the end of the month and this could all push cameron into taking a tougher stance which could end in annual budget negotiations with the union and eventually what nick clegg fears but many support a slide out of the e.u. altogether. last time the british public voted on being part of europe was in one nine hundred seventy five when it joined up to what was then the european economic community your m.p. paul and the toll says it's high time people got another chance to choose. presumably britain actually out of the states which is in the currency and we pay schumer to the tune of around fifty million pounds

a day just to be members of our club gotten to him to recount the mega amounts of money the street tens of billions it costs us to comply with e.u. directives and regulations of it's better than some of the british people it's something we know how to be about it's something which we want a referendum on if you look at recent opinion polls eighty percent of people want a referendum around sixty percent of people actually want to leave the european union altogether so the people are certainly moving the way the political class starts a good debate the problem that you've got is that austerity doesn't exist in the european union and might exist in the member countries where we're asking to cut back on almost everything we have real estate is the out the money doesn't. matter they spend more and more every single year the budget goes or a member states including states such as greece and portugal and ireland who wouldn't serious trouble will be asked to put their hands in their pockets and give more to bushels it's wrong seventeen years it is now since the accounts of concerns of look if the european union was a company the new directors on the chief executive would all be in jail but it's

not it's corrupt and that's another reason why the british people want that referendum and want to leave. as america's eastern seaboard works to get life back to normal after superstorm sandy so both barack obama and mitt romney resume electioneering in the final days before the vote damage done by the deadly storm is put at about fifty billion dollars but neither candidate is ready to dip into the massive military budget to help pay for it we're at a point now looks at the cost of such policies. our military spending has gone up every single year that i've been in office we spend more on our military than the next ten countries combined china russia france united kingdom you name it america has a responsibility and the privilege of helping defend freedom we've got to strengthen our military long term i will not cut our military budget in a post nine eleven america the pentagon's budget has grown more than forty percent

averaging half a trillion dollars per year critics say a new party or presidents in the white house won't change the policies firmly cemented in washington is that both of these men are very much continuations of the military industrial complex is domination of our political system in our democracy so when they keep talking about how they're going to supply jobs increasingly that's where the jobs come from. both foreign interventions and also this giant so-called homeland security department price of defending the homeland critics say continues to come at a grave cost to civil liberties this war on terror in the last lead that we discussed before the n.b.a. now you have military mice police you know cracking down on protesters now you have this massive empire in order to sustain move there. you need to. to make sure that the war came rages are earlier this year the former cia director

applauded president obama for closely following the controversial policies of his part assessor and despite a campaign that was based upon a very powerful promise of transparency president obama and again in my view quite correctly. has used the state secrets argument in a variety of courts as much as president bush more than six and a half thousand u.s. soldiers have been killed fighting america's post nine eleven wars and nearly fifty thousand have been wounded in action are reported quarter million americans who have fought in iraq or afghanistan have been diagnosed with mental health injuries from combat service even as america's wars wind down the suicide rate among troops has surged to a thirty year high according to the pentagon this year's total may reach as many as one suicide per day it's not just what happens in war and when the deaths and the

injuries or happens afterwards you know you have these bad veterans coming home you know to two broken communities and families with. moms and all this in terms of society is that something that wants you know do we want as a society where are important members of our communities in the coming coming in a moment when. the reality of war in the two thousand and twelve fiscal year payers funded a u.s. defense budget of five hundred forty four billion dollars it's estimated that some could provide two million military veterans with free medical care for thirty five years talking about national defense has been almost sacrosanct you know sort of like the thanks department one something to question that is to question. something that is unquestionable and that has meant that the largest part of the

u.s. government spending has been beyond analysis beyond public scrutiny in four days americans will elect a leader for the next four years regardless of who wins the legacy of war cemented under the past two u.s. presidents indicate that the roots of the largest defense budget will continue blooming this causing many to ask if hundreds of billions of dollars are being spent to increase security or even road stability forty three are going up right now our team obama and romney have laid into each other's views on cash for the military and how to maintain the armed forces but some observers say this money would be better spent elsewhere there's no more important issue in america today than how much we're spending on our military our military industrial complex that's where most of us tax dollars go most americans know that this is just wasteful

spending here it creates a few jobs but there's so many more jobs that would be created if that spending that governmental spending was done on a whole bunch of other things like publicly utilities like a whole other range of areas so it's really destroying our economy in a lot of ways besides creating a lot on this is sort of violence around the world that seems like the legacy of us being involved in all these on this is the war's over these last several years is going to be the same legacy that happened to a lot of other. empires that just they just spent themselves out of existence that happened to the soviet union in their own this is scary wars that happen to you know it happened to the british you know it happened to a lot of other societies that these military industrial complex takes over nobody stops it and before you know it you know your whole country is like an overwhelming debt. spending more isn't slashing military spending on our calls you'll hear from the democrat or republican campaigns but they're all presidential candidates making those calls they're the third party candidates who are shunned by the mainstream

but are getting a voice on our team the final round of live debates is here on monday. under national rights and international law we should not. we need to cut the budget and bring the troops home we should end the war in afghanistan. the persecution of what's. wrong. with the patriot act. crisco is gunning for a journalist to know too much a reporter who says flu scare me a deficit get some details just ahead. what's

the difference between a samurai sword and a blind guys walking stick well known if you're one of the cops in northern england an elderly blind architect with taser in the back because his cane looks like a sword that was used in a nearby crime honest mistake because swords are often tubular and use this walking sticks more and more we hear stories like this like the handcuffed youth who was shot in the back to death or the unarmed guy in a wheelchair who got blown away by the boys in blue i understand that being in the police is rough everyone lies to you and any given day you could be shot dead so i get it when after a long police chase someone just snaps and in all honesty fire when the police might do the same thing but it takes a certain kind of person who enjoys abusing their uniform to make the helpless suffer you can't tolerate sadists or those with napoleon complexes in the police

and you know what they aren't that hard to spot in the shower because if you like to tase the elderly or shoot wheelchair bound people then you probably don't have much of a certain something but that's just my opinion. will two parties keep us politics a woman way street. who will new voices disrupt the power of power and. force if america changes. to a selection of those guys monday night. stream quality and enjoy your favorite. t.v. is not required to watch on t.v. all you need is your mobile device watch any time.

welcome back you're watching are from moscow the people who brought greece to its knees should be held to account by later spot one journalist who tried to do just under arrest right now spiro scoff a cut out of it is was swept into custody straight after appearing on t.v. saying he had proof that the deficit data that led to greece's bailout was fabricated another journalist was tried for publishing a list of a legit top tax evaders but he was quickly acquitted in an apparent blow to the government investigative journalist gavin mcfadden says whistleblowers who strive to reveal the truth are being persecuted by governments around the world. i'm very concerned about seeing a great journalist arrested it's a disgrace and much has to be done by our own international organization to protect

him and to protect others like him we have problems also in serbia and bosnia herzegovina many places where journalists are at risk against organized crime in italy a reporter is at risk a newspaper simply won't publish things so we have a problem of the fear during the iraq war here one journalist one on the b.b.c. radio early in the morning a man named gilligan and he said a few things about what actually happened which we know now to be entirely true and he has his career was destroyed the b.b.c. board of governors had to resign the director general of the b.b.c. left the b.b.c. and that. so i can happening in some latin american countries but it's. and that's the degree of pressure there is on journalist it's not to say things the way they really know them to be journalists are at risk politically all the time and it's our job to support them. israel could learn the hard way the friends are always there when you need the most it's being worn but if it attacks the wrong don't

expect the world's biggest military machine to come running to help as we report online. and israel admits the in a tourist assassination of one of the officer arafat's deputies with a rare declassified inside to the raid and to mediate. punk band pussy riot. landed them and in the global headlines but now their potential to cash in on the fame saw battle commence over copyright lucic off enough has the details pussy riot the members of the band themselves may be toiling away in hard labor as a result of their. protest stunt behind me at the price they were but that hasn't stopped some people from trying to cash in on the pussy riot brand shockingly enough the wife of one of the pussy riot attorneys has applied for a permit to essentially gain ownership of the brand rights in order to put out t. shirts and other various items this application has been rejected today we just

learned that information so that's not going to happen but that hasn't stopped people from expressing outrage over the commercialization of this situation the band members themselves had said that this is supposed to be a political protest a nonprofit movement they're not happy with the fact that this is turning into a profit venture we've even also heard reports of there's a thirty thousand pound contract to put of full feature movie about pussy riot into works now the band has come under international attention over there are stunned at the cathedral there was a high profile trial here in russia where they were queues of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred and as a result they got sentenced to labor in the end in a work camp one of the members was released october today actually prime minister dmitry medvedev spoke out about this issue and said that while he personally doesn't necessarily agree. what their tactics and things that they have served their time and it's time for them to end the sentences for the remaining two

members now as for the commercialization of pussy riot we've seen a lot of high profile celebrities coming to to the pussy riot because madonna apparently is selling t. shirts in support of her nineteen bucks a pop unclear where those profits are going and we've also actually seen the pussy riot turn into the punchline of a comedy show called south park that broadcasts in the us the episode was essentially making fun of people who rallied towards various causes without actually understanding what those causes are all about and in it jesus christ came down and yelled at a bunch of the characters for wearing various protest bracelets saying that people shouldn't be expressing their political opinions on the bracelets but instead on t. shirts that he revealed his jesus christ robes to show free pussy riot t. shirts now time for more of the world's news this hour an insider attack on police in southern afghanistan has left four officers that the killings were carried out during a shift change at a security outpost for gunmen who can manage to relieve their colleagues around one

in japan the worst atomic energy disaster since chernobyl is the key motivation for rushing through nuclear decommissioning is the security concerns are very strong this is the main factor in the decision to begin reduction of nuclear energy in germany atomic energy accounted for just under eighteen percent of german electricity in two thousand and eleven can renewable take up that slack government figures show that for every wind farm built to generate three thousand megawatts the amount needed to power three million homes the only expected to deliver one hundred megawatts to the national grid in reality though over the last ten years they've only been getting around half of that slightly over sixteen percent the original three thousand which is forced germany back into the arms of fossil fuel with nuclear power taken off the table by angle of merkel germany is building a new fleet of coal fired power stations this one may it's a cologne opened its doors an august of this year and it's up to these new power

stations to provide germany with the electricity it's crying out for electricity prices are key for the international competitiveness of the non-ferrous metals industry if the electricity price increases by once and total cost increases are one hundred eighty millions per year industry is already feeling the pinch the steel workers in north rhine-westphalia went on strike to try and save their mill from closure it didn't work they may not be the only ones germany's importing more and more electricity from abroad which will mean higher prices some plants have closed in germany. threatened to close. the company's all sinking to relocate new investments to countries abroad germany's neighbors don't share in safety concerns over nuclear power france uses atomic energy to generate the vast majority of its electricity whereas to the east poland is set to invest fourteen

and a half billion euros in the construction of eight new nuclear power plants one of them around one hundred kilometers from the german city of dresden peter all over germany. business or politics mitt romney's son has visited the country which his father thinks as america's number one geopolitical foe later our business team looks at whether the investment seeking trip will have any implications for the republican candidates presidential campaign at six thirty and eight thirty pm g.m.t. . well that'll be it for from me but stay tuned because in a couple of minutes with the u.s. election just days away the editor of the american weekly magazine the nation outlines what the candidates have in store and then after that it's our brand new investigative show the truth seeker.

the sun rises over what seems like and most forest but here in the new directions cry for hundred kilometers north of light of all stalked as much of the world it's disappearing at a catastrophic rate. mortgages both illegal and those finding ways to outsmart the system filing down the forests of the region for them profit goes well beyond the future of our planet and the result could be an ecological crisis we are on the hunt for illegal loggers and it's not going to be easy to forest. it's enormous and our chances are slim now for now we can stay in our dreams but as soon as we find solid tracks we'll have to drop our wheels and get out and move silently in order not to scare the loggers off alexander someone in ca has been a ranger for over twenty five years he can spend weeks at a time tracking

a single group of loggers looks of sorts easier to work when snow falls ago but in autumn it's impossible to find human tracks and even transport tracks are hard to see after hours of driving we get sent in the right direction by word of mouth you can see that the ground just soft here which means that they have twelve the tractor trails are very fresh which in fact means that we need to be quiet in order to not scare them off as we get closer. this team says they're illegal but have no documents now xander can now call the police to take over his work here is done he is overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the promote the region and the w w f says the government isn't doing enough to stop it just you . know do it there's no one tries to stop them in just five years the force will be gone what will the people who live afterwards do it's a question more and more people are aware of today climate change and the safety of our environment as a whole are being discussed around the world and perhaps is so small steps that
